GLOBAL CITIZEN

Our world is more interconnected than ever - exposing us to the richness of far-flung and diverse cultures. Whether you’re an avid or an armchair traveler, the vibrant colors and patterns of ethnic textiles are undoubtedly enriching our homes.

COCOONING

Our home is our sanctuary - a welcome respite from the 24/7 intensity of life. We love the soothing yet sophisticated look (and feel!) of richly textured upholstery fabrics in a neutral palette. A combo of nubby, fuzzy, silky fabrics creates an inviting, cocoon-like interior.

PLANT LIFE

Green is said to elicit feelings of hopefulness - the perfect state of mind to kick off a new year. With Pantone announcing “greenery” as the 2017 color of the year, we expect to see a lot more green in interiors. We are particularly fond of fresh green botanical prints. Whether lush or sparse, these leafy patterns blend well with any decor style.

VELVET with a TWIST

While velvet is clearly having a moment in fashion, it has been a long standing staple in the world of interiors. For a twist on this classic textile, we’re crushing on (pun intended) velvets with subtle patterns and color variations. They feel more modern and moody and memorable than their plain vanilla cousin.
